I'm having a teeny tiny Christmas, too! DF and I got up at about 7.30 and unwrapped each other's presents that we got for one another, then he went off to work and now I have the house to myself for the rest of the day I've got a stack of movies I'm going to watch!

we opened all our presents this morning... Ethan has gone for a snooze. waiting for him to wake so we can have lunch... might go and see Dh's parents this arvo. but mostly just lounging around filling in time today

Just us four at home today.Kids up at 0620. Presents done, bacon and eggs for us, waffles and home made icecream for the kids.Phone calls done. Now im sitting on my a*se eating potato chips, while DD and DH do colouring in on the carpet at my feet and DS is putting his Big Ben puzzle together. Utter bliss.

We had visitors this morning but now its just us at home. The roast is on and the kids are happily playing with their new toys. I LOVE small, low key Christmases. Next year Im hoping to hide holiday up North so it will be even smaller!

DS and I are going to my parents. My brother and his girlfriend will be there too. We always have teeny tiny Christmases as have no family here so it's usually just my parents, brother and DH (but DH is soon to be exDH so he isn't coming).

Me, DP, sister and foetus.(and cats but it's hot so they're under a tree somewhere - probably next door)Will have bbq lunch then ice-cream but will make some stickjaw sauce. Don't have a recipe hopefully can make it up - anyway some concoction of sugar, butter and cocoa and prob cream.

We've managed to avoid a giant family Christmas this year too - it's just us and the kids, and my mum who lives with us.

The kids opened a whole world of presents this morning, and they are now busy playing with them. We've had a bottle of fizzy with our neighbours/besties. I think my Grandma is going to pop over shortly for a quick hello, and that's about it. Will fire up the BBQ later for some butterflied lamb and lots of seafood.

Just the three of us here today. DS (17 months) woke early so had his cranky pants on - put him down for a nap 1.5 hours later then we helped him open his presents after he woke up (DH and I don't do presents between us). DS is still asleep for his second nap - coming up on 3 hours now - so DH and I have been couch-vegging, eating yummy snacks and watching LOTR. I am 36 weeks pregnant so happy to chill out for the day as I have no intention of going into labour.

We are enjoying an itty bitty chrissy here. Just the 4 of us plus 1 cat 1 guinea pig & a Mexican walking fish(pet sitting). Got up at 6am to flailing arms full of wrapping paper. I was given an awesome new teapot for Christmas from my kids & husband, woohoo it's a TARDIS. It's a tad warm out so we have the Dr Who marathon on & snacking on too many fruit mince pies. Got a pork slowly roasting in the oven & it's nice & quiet now.I hope everyone is having a great day no matter how big or small.
